- I adore horror, both supernatural and firmly stuck in reality. Especially if it’s a combo of horror and romance!

- Anything, and I mean anything, that could use the words β€œtoxic queer romance” in its summary. The more depraved, the better. Give me the ugly emotions

Starting off a #MSWL thread!
Will add things as I think of them, but this is more of a scattershot collection of ideas.

Starting with- I’ve been really obsessed with reality tv lately! Especially about women! Would love fiction that uses reality tv, especially if it’s horrifying/tragic

for romance in general, i love a genre blending moment, so send me your horroromance, mystery romance, etc

i tend to like my main characters & storylines with a bit of bite/kick, and i probably wouldn't be the best fit for things that are on the sweeter/wholesome side lol #mswl

on the romance side of things, i'm widening my #mswl to include historical romance, particularly from/about marginalized prespectives, especially if it's sapphic. think olivia waite, cat sebastian (i esp loved her bisexual disasters novel THE PERFECT CRIMES OF MARIAN HAYES), etc.

on the more serious side of things, i'm intrugued by stories where said sentient 'house' is connected to/reflecting on intergenerational trauma, anticolonial legacies, dark histories, etc.

for e.g. a darker, more f*cked up version of the ENCANTO house! #mswl

this has been on my #mswl for a couple of years: i want a sentient house!! 'house' in the loosest sense of the word. could be a forest, a lake, a shack, a room. a 'place' that f*cks with its inhabitants. doesn't need to be malicious, but i do love when it's a bit of an a**hole πŸ˜…

lovers-to-enemies where the tension, betrayal, mind games, and angst are off the charts, where they want nothing more than to go back to the way things were but it's impossible and goes against everything each person stands for but the ~feelings are still there! i hunger!!! #mswl

i know the girlies love a good enemies-to-lovers moment (i myself am often 'the girlies') but over the holidays i watched THE RINGS OF POWER and while the show has its fair share of flaws, it has awakened in me a hunger for a lovers-to-enemies situation (iykyk πŸ‘€) #mswl

i've been revisiting favourites that were precursors to romantasy as we know it today, like tasha suri's THE BOOKS OF AMBHA duology, jemisin's THE INHERITANCE trilogy, and other fantasy where romance is a strong subplot but a HEA is not guaranteed and the angst is elite 🀌 #mswl

while i'm def open to romantasy where the fantasy/worldbuilding and romance are given equal space/attention (esp from marginalized writers ft. marginalized perspectives/stories), i also want to see more romantic fantasy that might not necessarily fit the 'romantasy' label #mswl
